◷ Open Thursday–Sunday 10 AM–5 PM
A Monthly Children’s
Museum Experience
Presented by the National Great Blacks in Wax Museum – T.E.A.C.H. Division
Field Trips to Freedom is a monthly educational and cultural experience for children ages 6–11, hosted at the historic Great Blacks in Wax Museum Mansion in Baltimore.
Designed as a one-hour “museum playdate,” this interactive program brings Black history to life through storytelling, music, hands-on crafts, and creative play. Each session highlights the story of a powerful historical figure alongside a cultural or commemorative holiday, inviting children to explore themes of freedom, joy, leadership, and discovery in age-appropriate and engaging ways.
Led by Culture Queen, children are encouraged to embody leadership qualities such as confidence, courage, kindness, and pride, while learning how those values show up in their own lives—at school, at home, and in their communities. The experience blends education and imagination, creating a welcoming space where children can move, create, ask questions, and see themselves reflected in history.
